[QUOTE="Biggles2, post: 1645436, member: 406880"] I posted the definition of remission below on another thread a few days ago. This is the best definition of remission that I have found. It introduces the time element, e.g. partial remission = 1 year, complete remission = 5 years. This is a marathon we are on, not a sprint. Success is measured in results over time. Any approach has to be sustainable, and low carb/eating to the meter is sustainable. That is the beauty of this approach. Low carb is not a 8 week liquid diet, followed by a requirement to maintain great results for another mere 8 weeks to be considered "in remission" (that does look promising on paper, but it gives people the false hope that all that is needed is a short term fix, or diet if you will). No, to manage T2D our approach must be for life, and it must be sustainable. The low carb and BG monitoring approach ticks all the boxes for me, and 3 years in, it has been very sustainable! Here is the definition from the 2009 position paper by Buse et al: [B]How Do We Define Cure of Diabetes?[/B] [B]“A remission can be characterized as partial or complete. Partial remission[/B] is sub-diabetic hyperglycemia (A1C not diagnostic of diabetes [<6.5%], fasting glucose 100–125 mg/dl [5.6–6.9 mmol/l]) of at least 1 year's duration in the absence of active pharmacologic therapy or ongoing procedures. [B]Complete remission[/B] is a return to “normal” measures of glucose metabolism (A1C in the normal range, fasting glucose <100 mg/dl [5.6 mmol/l]) of at least 1 year's duration in the absence of active pharmacologic therapy or ongoing procedures.” [URL]http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/32/11/2133[/URL] [/QUOTE]
